November 28, 2011 at 2:28 pm

In efforts to increase entrepreneurship, Steve Rosenbaum, CEO of Magnify.net was recently named Entrepreneur at Large for the NYCEDC to act as a middle man between entrepreneurs and NY agencies. In an op-ed from him in Metro Focus, he explains that this is the time for entrepreneurs and startup companies to take advantage of what NY has to offer. Rosenbaum explains what makes the NY tech scene stand out is, “Strong-willed, driven, elbow-throwing strivers who aren’t afraid to jockey for a seat. We breed entrepreneurs here in NYC.”

Over the past few years, NY has grown an impressive list of successful startups and has created communities and incubators for entrepreneurs to thrive. Rosenbaum says that he will take the next few weeks learning the ins and the outs of the NYEDC in order to break the wall between “the government and New York’s startup community.”
